Hi Judy,

That is too funny!  I love hearing about chuckleworthy scanning errors!
Thanks!

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Scanno of the week

I'm proofreading a young adult book about a high school football team, and
one of the plays the team learns and uses is the "flea flicker." 
Unfortunately, the scanner's OCR software decided that the "f-l-i" in
flicker was really an "f-u" so I now have a book that is, um, full of adult
content. grin. There are some other OCRing scannos in it that are equally
hilarious transformations of innocent words into the obscene, making this
the first x-rated teen book I've proofread! smile.
